Summer Of Spain Tickets
Many thanks to those who have already indicated that they are coming to our Saturday night "Summer of Spain" and bring your own BBQ.
Please can those people who have not yet done so indicate if they are or are not able to eat with us, so we can be sure on numbers. Obviously we would like everyone to come, but if you can't make it please be good enough to let us know.
Keep your eyes on the blog for more posts and the issue of the final frequency list this weekend.

Launching Provisions
It maybe on some skippers minds as to what to bring for launching.
At Manor Park we have a wide beach that shelves gently to about 450-600mm (18"-2' in old money) in 3m and then falls steeply from there to 6m depth. As such it is possible to launch by walking the boat into the water wearing deck shoes or waders/wellies but care must be taken around the edge of the drop.
We are also building a temporary jetty that will enable skippers to launch from the dry if they prefer.
There should be plenty of helpers on hand around the launch area to assist should skippers wish to entrust their craft to others to launch.

Breaking News
Keen eyed readers may have noticed the lack of a certain well know name in the entry list and it is now confirmed that Graham Bantock will not be defending his title.
Is this like Wimbledon without Raffa, MotoGP without Rossi or F1 without Alonso!!
Who knows, but one thing is certain and that is there will not be a better opportunity for some to take the trophy home. You've got to be in it to win it.
Just over a week now till the closing date and we will be sending the letters out soon, so if you are thinking of coming along, don't leave it too late.

The Summer of Spain
Given the success of Spain in Wimbledon and the World Cup this year we have decided to continue the Summer of Spain with our social event on the Saturday night.
With a specially made Paella, Sangria and a purpose made beach (well it is a sand & gravel pit after all) all we will need is the sun and some Senora's and Senorita's to complete the scene.
So pack your Sombrero's and your Flamenco guitars and don't forget to check your castanets.
Sunday night will be an all you can eat BBQ because,
"We supply the heat but you supply the meat".
Fresh burgers, buns and bangers will be available for purchase on the night from the galley but you can bring your own if you wish. Please also feel free to provide your own refreshments on both nights although the rear commodore is a generous chap who may share some of his own personal supply with you in return for a donation to his favourite charity.
All details together with booking forms will be in the skippers packs to be sent out shortly. Please ensure you register and send your payment to confirm your entry so we get a good idea of numbers.
